[Marble-devel] server space for marble data

[Tom Albers]

Hi,

We can not host 2TB on any of our servers currently. That's just an enormous amount of data. We can rent another server from Hetzner, this costs around 650 euro per year[1]. If you can provide the funds for that, we are happy to set it up and maintain it. 

Please note that with this amount we can not utilise our KDE mirror network. That means the server should be able to manage on it's own. It's quite a difference if it is one 2TB file or a 1 million files of 2KB. Also the amount of concurrent users should be factored in. From Hetzner we get a 10TB limit a month. So if this is a single 2TB file, we can not serve that much people... 

In short: this requires a bit more thought and input from you guys. As you are running this privately, you should be able to provide those details. Also I think you can, and should, start a fundraiser to get the funds for this (or discuss options with the board).

Best,

Tom Albers
